在2017年,馬克·祖克柏回到他的母校-哈佛大學(於2004年輟學),發表畢業典禮演講。直到今天,這場演講已經被看過高達237萬次(https://youtu.be/BmYv8XGl-YU)。

Mark Zuckerberg went back to his own school- Harvard University  (dropped out in 2004) and delivered a commencement address in 2017. Till today, the speech has been viewed up to 2.37 million times(https://youtu.be/BmYv8XGl-YU).

 

首先,我們要知道整場演講的關鍵詞,目的。目的,定義是你「為什麼」做某事。

First of all, we have to know the key word of the whole speech, purpose. Purpose, by definition, is "why" you do something. 

 

事不宜遲,一起來深入了解吧!

Without further ado, Let’s dive in!

 

#1.創造使命感(Create a sense of purpose)

Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for. 

Purpose is what creates true happiness.

To keep our society moving forward, we have a generational challenge — to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.

 

purpose (n.) 目的

happiness (n.) 開心

society (n.) 社會

generational (adj.) 世代的

challenge (n.) 挑戰

renewed (adj.) 全新的

 

#2.三個方法創造使命感(Three ways to create a sense of purpose)

Today I want to talk about three ways to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose: by taking on big meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue purpose, and by building community across the world.

 

meaningful (adj.) 充滿意義的

projects (n.) 項目

redefine (v.) 重新定義

equality (n.) 平等

freedom (n.) 自由

pursue (v.) 追求

community (n.) 社區

 

「願力量的泉源,造福先人,也幫助我們找到勇氣,讓我們的人生成為一個祝福。」

“May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us *find the courage* to make our lives a blessing.”
